What is recorded here

On a slight rise on a plateau, in an area of rough pasture, hazel and exposed limestone pavement. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This rectangular enclosure (int. dims. 10m NE-SW; 9m NW-SE) is defined by the remains of a drystone wall (Wth at NE 0.6m; H 0.7m) which has largely collapsed and is reduced to a stone spread (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.5m). It is overgrown with scrub at NW. There is a stile-like entrance gap (Wth 0.5m), marked by upright stones, near the N end of the SE wall. Just to the N of this is a small flat cairn (3m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE). Although hachured on the OS maps, this enclosure appears to be relatively modern in date. A hut site (CL009-105004-) lies c. 45m to the NE, a possible wedge tomb (CL009-105002-) c. 20m to the SE and a cairn (CL009-105003-) c. 20m to the SSE.
